A: No. .sav is usually battery-backed SRAM (saves from within the game). .sgs is a full emulator snapshot (includes CPU state, audio, video).

| From | To | Tool | |------|----|------| | Gens SGS | Kega Fusion GSX | SGStoGSX.exe | | Gens SGS | RAW memory dump | HxD (extract offsets 0x8008-0x28008) | Q: Can I edit an SGS file on a Mac or Linux? A: Yes, using a hex editor (e.g., Bless, Okteta) or Wine to run Gens Tracer.
A: Yes, but the memory offsets may differ if the ROM is heavily modified. Conclusion Editing an SGS file is primarily a task for retro game hacking enthusiasts. Use Gens Tracer for memory editing or KMod for applying cheat codes. For general modifications, a hex editor works if you understand the Genesis memory layout. Always keep backups, and be aware that checksum-protected games may reject modified states. Would you like a sample Python script to parse the header of an SGS file or extract the 68K RAM section?
